Know Forree Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Rose, you got for us.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
So I do want to note that today in Virginia
is election day. So governor, lieutenant governor, Attorney General, House
of Delegates, and local offices are up for election and
polls are now open until seven pm, So get out
in both. The Trump administration totally federal dead yesterday that
it will use contingency funds to provide only half of
the normal SNAP food benefits four November during the government shutdown.
(00:29):
So the Agriculture Department said it will use all four
point sixty five billion dollars in the contingency fund, which
should cover about fifty percent of each household normal benefits.
Now about forty two million Americans rely on SNAP, receiving
an average of just over three hundred and fifty dollars
per month. Now, I will say Virginia and DZ both
said that they will fund SNAP while they can. And
now Maryland Governor Wes Moore is releasing sixty two million
(00:51):
dollars in state funds to ensure full November SNAP benefits
for Maryland. Or So that is very nice to hear.
So if you want to go to this year's Christmas
tree lighting ceremony, you need to enter the lottery to
get tickets, and that ends tomorrow at three pm to
enter that lottery. So the results of the lottery will
be announced on November twelfth. It is not a first come,
(01:13):
first service, it's literally a lottery. It's just random. So
the ceremony is going to be held in the Alps
near the White House on December fourth, So if you
are interested in going, make sure you enter that lottery.
And Mackenzie Scott if you do not recognize that name,
she was once married to Jeff Bezos. But she is,
I mean a philanthropist. She is phenomenal. She is giving
Howard University eighty million dollars. That's crazy, eighty million dollars.
(01:38):
So the university announced yesterday that she made an unrestricted
sixty three million dollar donation and then another unrestricted donation
of seventeen million dollars that will go to Howard University
College of Medicine. So Howard University officials call the donation
a historic investment that will go towards essential student eight,
infrastructure improvements, and the school's reserve fund. This is not
(02:00):
the first time that Mackenzie Scott has donated to Howard.
She gave a forty million dollar donation back in twenty twenty.

a fast food inspired gift like a mini candles, Coca
Cola keychain and more. Yeah, the calendar goes for nineteen

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
